The varied repertoire makes for a larger number of solos, and organ scholars Hannah and Charlotte take the opportunity to offer them to as many different singers as possible, thus developing their confidence and more importantly showcasing all the wonderful voices in the choir.

For example, our pre-tour fundraising concert raised over £1,000 which helped us immensely with the expenses of travel and accommodation. We are grateful to all the support that we receive and hope to see alumni and donors at future concerts.
